Hello, my name is Jennifer Rivera and I am a Licensed Profession Counselor based in Northern Arizona. I have 20 years of professional work experience in a wide variety of setting with individuals of all ages. I have experience addressing a wide variety of concerns, but specialize in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, & depression. I also have experience working with coping with life changes, improving self-esteem, and personal discovery.
My therapy style is warm, authentic, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and trauma informed therapy. I will tailor our conversations and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. I look forward to working with you!

Quite glad to be messaged with Jennifer! She is timely and kind, and works through my issues with me in a way that is both easy to understand and apply. She has recommended several coping mechanisms which I plan to implement in my day to day life, and I enjoy talking with her every week!
